Timers are responsible for timing each swimmer and recording it for each event.

Typically there are two or three timers per lane.  Timers are needed at both home and away meets and are organized into 2 shifts.

The first half begins with the timers meeting at 5:45 and runs through the first 37 events (ending approximately at 7:15 pm.)  2nd half tiers begin with event 38 and run through the end of the meet at approximately 8:30 pm.
